Title: mom. wife. artist calling the muse back to herself.

Bio: i am an artist. i love the map of the face. i am a jewelry designer. i am trying to begin working again after a decade of our daughter's illness, death and mourning. i love the color green, dry brit wit, the humor of dylan moran and irish beer. i hate injustice. i am a staunch republican, but only in regards to ireland. i have always marched to my own, silent drummer and taught my children to do the same. it comes with a price, but the beat we hear is compelling.

after having been away from os for so long, i could not stomach looking at the old banner any longer. so bird the cat has been retired and i played in photoshop with fonts, colors, filters, gradients, layers, selections...tweaking this and that...all the toys i have loved for so long yet also been away from. i had a blast!

i'm like that: the more i need someone or something, the further i distance myself from them or it sometimes. when i am in bad shape and need them/it the most. why do we have this reticence to be nice, to be kind to ourselves?

this banner is the first thing i feel i've accomplished creatively in quite awhile...feels good.

of course, it may just be the mania of effexor withdrawal. mwahaahaa
